that could be because Microsoft doesn't charge publishers for bandwidth usage.They don't. Right?
where was this fury during Finger F*ck Underage Witches or whatever it was called (Touch Catch Witch?)
So weird to see PS3 versions outselling 360. Then again, it's Japan, so it's weird seeing 360 titles in the top ten at all.

I dunno what you guys should feel bad about, it's been well-established that Japanese gamers have some pretty awful taste. No need to get upset
What? I'm loving this game so far and everyone else I know who is playing it thinks it'll be a serious contender for GotY. I'm really happy with this game and its sales performance, because it did something different successfully.
I think Japanese developers will look at this (at least Atlus will) and be more willing to do creative, new ideas.
I think we're pretty much the same kind of gamer. We like challenges, and never stray from difficult titles. I am a Golden God in Super Meat Boy!That having been said, the game design of Catherine is absolutely horrible.You get only 5 continues -- for the whole game. Once you run out, you have to load from a save file.What this means is that for a puzzle that takes 50 times to complete (and it will take you that many times for some of them), you would have to rewatch the same 2-3 minute cutscenes 49 times.So, if you use several of your continues in the beginning stages (which you will) and then save with only one or two continues, you will literally spend more time watching the same cutscene over and over than playing the game.That's the complaint about the game in Japan. Not that it's too hard, but that "5 continues" is completely arbitrary and forces you to unnecessarily waste hours of your life.Ways this mechanic could be forgivable:- Your 5 continues could be refreshed for each new level (they aren't)- You could load a save file that puts you right at the beginning of the puzzle (you can't)- You could just have infinite continuesI'm curious as to what Atlus intends to do with the patch. I don't want the game to be less difficult at all; the difficulty is just fine as-is. I simply want to actually play the game instead of watching the same cutscene for 2 hours in exchange for 5 minutes of gameplay.
You still have to sit through talking at the bar where you last saved, then wait for each cutscene to load before you can skip, PLUS there's an unskippable cutscene at the beginning of each stage while entering the door.There's no solution, Atlus just released an unplayable piece of software. I'll wait for the patch.
Sounds pretty legit to me. One of my most frustrating peevs is unskippable cutscenes (no mention of it in that post). I dont even mind having to replay all over, but if you cant skip scenes I'll go Hulk.
"Catherine is a Japan-only game," they said, "and there are no plans for a North American release at this time. Sorry about that!"

If you believe for one second that BeefJack.com has the exclusive scoop on Atlus USA's release plans then you deserve the Internet you have created in your mind.

Hey, it's not problem that news sites across the internet are reporting it as the truth.
Didn't Atlus publish Operation Darkness? If they published that, I'm sure Catherine, developed by their most high profile team, will make it westward.

Atlus just isn't going to give beefncheddar.com an exclusive on an unannounced title.
...Great Rumbler is still welcome to stick a blonde wig on me and call me Catherine. I mean, if he wants. No pressure.
I dig the hot pink + Renaissance typography combo!
uh, wtf? beefjack.com said it wasnt coming. fake.
Sounds like a bunch of crying babbies who fail at games. Maybe Atlus should send out reps to rub people's tummies while they play too. Sprinkle some baby powder on their asses, mayhap.
360 version had better be region-free.
